Re: [ovirt-users] Q: Copying VMs between Export domains of different data centres

Hi Andrei, I think you miss understand the concept of export domain. Export domain allows you to pass entities from one data center to another. The flow is: 1) Create an export domain in DC-A 2) Export required entities to the export domain 3) Deactivate (enter the storage domain to maintenance mode) and detach the export domain 4) Attach the export domain to DC-B and import the entities to it. You can see more information here: - https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage/ On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 4:04 PM, Andrei Verovski <andreil1(a)starlett.lv&gt; wrote: > Hi, > > I have 2 data centers (with 1 node each because 1 have local data domain) > > Copied exported from DC #1, exports -> 1d7208ce-d3a1-4406-9638-fe7051562994 > -> images -> 12f48f07-7e93-4c66-b0e9-00efc1fec418, with 2 files inside > fc469474-94fd-416b-b921-58604f46411c - 171 GB (seems like disk image) > fc469474-94fd-416b-b921-58604f46411c.meta > > to DC #2, export -> 36bc8d5d-30e9-4df5-94cd-c837483c5e41 -> images > -> 12f48f07-7e93-4c66-b0e9-00efc1fec418, with these above listed files > inside. > (screenshot attached) > > However, in “Import Virtual machine(s)” dialog this VM is not visible > even after running “Load” command inside import dialog. > Looks like for whatever reason oVirt don’t refresh content of this > directory. > > How to instruct oVirt to refresh and index these files? > > Or this method won’t work at all, and one have to import/export OVA > images, or use lengthy procedure described by Fred Roland here ? > http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-February/087304.html > > Thanks. > Andrei > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > -- Regards, Eyal Shenitzky
